I love my fan service so I have no complaints of pantsu or boobies in anime. I do have some other complaints.

1. Inconclusive or non-endings: While Air Gear is one of my favorite anime, I'll be the first to say the non-ending sucks. The same is true of Claymore. Nothing bugs me more than getting to the climax with no fulfilling ending.

2. Wimpy or whiny main characters: I am an independent person and have no respect for whiners in real life or my anime. The worst perpetrators of wimpiness have been Shinji of Eva and Raki of Claymore. Coincidentally, Greg Ayers is usually cast as the whimpy character. I don't know what bugs me more, his voice or the character.

3. Obvious CGI in anime

4. Censored anime: Whether it be the white-light, superimposed censor, invisible nipples or the conveniently place lock of long hair, just let me see them boobies!!

5. Overused voice actors

6. Badly drawn noses: Soul Eater and Kaiji come to mind

7. I'm sure there is a name for this trope (where is @Shogun?) but in short, it the trend in Shounen anime that the main character always succeeds through sheer will, usually pulling out some secret power during a battle when they appear to be losing. Naruto, Ichigo, Natsu...they are all guilty of this. I prefer my characters to actually get their ass handed to them and train so that they can redeem themselves next time.

8. Harem characters that can't make up their mind: There always seems to be the girl he is obviously most fond of. Be a man and tell the girls your choice. You are only disrespecting the others by stringing them along.

9. Recap episodes or recaps at the start of each episode

exactly this. I especially can't stand the main character not making up his mind in harems and they then end with a non ending... no decision made... I'm like, great....... What the hell did I just watch this for?

I have noticed this seems to be a trend in anime adeptations of visual novels. almost as if they don't want to upset the fans for not picking the one they like... Like, I don't care if they don't pick the one I like. I picked tomoyo in clannad but in the anime they go with nagisa and I'm perfectly ok with that. it's one of my all time favoite anime because they picked a path and stuck with it. (Yes I know they have OVAs) but the main anime stuck with one heroine. ((holy crap I typed more than I thought))

All time things about anime that annoy the heck out of me...1. Anime series that are not continued or left hanging for years or forever!!!

So many great series are left victim to nothingness, totally destroyed because the creators/ TPTB revert viewers to the Manga or something to that affect i.e. lack of funds, not enough sales, change of direction... really WTF!!!! For us connoisseurs who love watching anime because for the mere fact its easier to watch a 24 min episode/ 12-24 series then read through a Manga (just me folks, no disrespect to those of you who are Manga bound)... So many great anime I have watched over the years and then the series were ditched for just a one-off first season with nothing more to follow on with, leaving unanswered questions/ plots not fulfilled/ characters and arcs in limbo.... it should be a crime!!!! ESPECIALLY, WHY CREATE A SERIES JUST TO NOT FINISH IT!!!!

For the record, if I am one-day blessed to come into a large win-fall of money or overwhelming inheritance.. I pledge my commitment to pour my finance into completing many of the great anime series out there in the ANIMEVERSE that are deserving to be at least completed/ finished off with satisfactory conclusions of at least another season, like the following for example just to name a few i.e.Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero
OverlordSnow White with the Red Hair
La storia della Arcana Famiglia
Gansta
The Legend of the Legendary Heroes
Log Horizon

2. Anime that is subbed....

Yes, yes I know most anime are converted from subbed to dub that's how we get what we get... but when some decent series out there are still not translated over; its like really!!! WTF!!!! Why discriminate against those of the populous of this world who are inclined to gravitate to dubbed only... COME ON PEOPLE, GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!!

3. Anime (some) that have been made into live action movies...

Ok sure there are some anime that were able to pull it off... Death Note, Rurouni Kenshin... but really others like G.I.T.S... were totally ruined especially special mention of Major Matoko who should've been depicted more like the anime but Johansson I felt did not have the true spirit of how Matoko should've been and don't get me started on Bato's portrayal... Ahhhh!!!! There are a few other series out there in the ANIMEVERSE that were lost on the bad acting or lost in translation of how the anime was and so directors/ movie studios should've just left well alone... SO FRUSTRATING, ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

Poor examples:
Dragon Ball Evolution
Crying Freeman
Speed Racer
Black Butler
Casshern
Kite
Guyver
Devilman
Attack on Titan 1 & 2
Fist of the North Star
Blood: The Last Vampire
City Hunter (even though I am an all time fan of Jackie Chan)

Seems a lot of people dislike harem. I used to like them, but it was only after watching Spice and Wolf that I realized I watched them for the romance. Harems in general take a few steps in romance for everyone, without actually getting anywhere, due to inconclusive endings or a self insert protagonist that is clueless just to fill the role of being an insert.
Harems like the one in R+V are different though, since the protagonist actually has been given a romantic goal (at least, in the anime). Also the same for Date a Live.

Equality in romance just does not belong . Those harem endings (as rare as they are) depress me.

The glorification/normalization of pedophilia and incest tbh. As a teenager when I first got into anime this wasn't really a big deal to me, but the older I get, the creepier it gets to look for anime to watch and have like 75% of it feature this. Especially the pedophilia. It's really gross to see that glorified not only in anime but in the anime community as well. Even when younger characters aren't sexualized in the anime itself, they are in like half of the fanart and other fan media :/
